Emmy nominations 2022: The full updating list (The Washington Post)

The 74th Emmy Awards air Monday, Sept. 12, on NBC. Read on for a list of the 2022 nominees with our analysis. Outstanding drama series. “ ...

(Himesh Patel, unlikely to win, is still nice to see.) Analysis: Well, hello Hulu. Academy voters clearly loved “ Dopesick,” the streamer’s thorough (and thoroughly heartbreaking) series about the opioid epidemic. We’re a little surprised to not see “The Staircase,” which earned top acting nods, or the well-reviewed “Maid,” which landed Margaret Qualley a lead actress nom, in the mix. Garfield seems the front-runner here, capping a great year for him. Analysis: The talent in this category is top-notch, and several actresses — Colette, Garner and Paulson — have earned multiple nods from the academy during their careers. The most interesting nominations here are “Severance” star Adam Scott, better known for his comedy chops, and Critics’ Choice winner Lee Jung-jae of “Squid Game.” Analysis: Fans of newcomers “Abbott Elementary” and “Only Murders in the Building” will be happy to see the critically acclaimed shows appear in this category alongside a hefty number of return nominees. Critics’ Choice winner Melanie Lynskey getting another award for “Yellowjackets” would be a nice conclusion to a long-overdue year of attention; Zendaya, who won the year after Comer, tends to receive tons of attention but really put her all into this past season of “Euphoria.” Reese Witherspoon, who beat out co-star Jennifer Aniston for a “Morning Show” nod this year, doesn’t seem likely to win. Note the lack of network shows, though – there was apparently no love for “ This Is Us” in its final season. HBO’s “Euphoria” is a pleasant surprise, but only to an extent considering Zendaya’s big win at the 2020 ceremony. But in a win for Hulu, the streaming service’s breakout comedy-mystery “Only Murders in the Building” also landed 17 nominations, with acting noms for Steve Martin and Martin Short, though the Television Academy curiously snubbed co-lead Selena Gomez. Jerrod Carmichael was the only guest host to garner a nomination, for his memorable episode shortly after the infamous Oscars slap.

The Biggest Snubs and Surprises of the 2022 Emmy Nominations (Vanity Fair)

Below, Awards Insider's David Canfield and Rebecca Ford break down the least predictable outcomes of Emmy nomination day—from a goose egg for This Is Us to a ...

Yes, Maid—and WeCrashed, and Under the Banner of Heaven, and Gaslit, and and and—didn’t make it into the outstanding limited series category. All season, Yellowstone has been billed as the much-beloved series with a dedicated and large fan viewership that was finally going to break into the Emmy race with its fourth season. One of the season’s most acclaimed—and challenging—limited series, Station Eleven came into Tuesday as one of the morning’s bigger question marks. The cut-throat limited series category was always going to leave out some stellar shows, but the exclusion of Netflix's Maid is a bit surprising because the show was a critically acclaimed his. It’s Walken’s first Emmy nomination in over 30 years; the last one came for the 1991 Hallmark movie Sarah, Plain and Tall. —D.C. The first two seasons of Atlanta garnered 22 nominations and five wins, but perhaps the four years the show was away did not make the Academy's heart grow fonder. The good news: as an exec producer, Gomez is still a nominee for the show, which earned a best comedy series nomination among its 17 nominations. It’s hard enough for a network show to break into the Emmys, but Abbott rose to the top of the class. The most thrilling comedy special of the year was somehow overlooked in the prerecorded-variety-special category, in favor of… It’s her eighth career nomination, and would be her second win (she won in 2016 for The People v. Below, Awards Insider’s David Canfield and Rebecca Ford break down the least predictable outcomes of Emmy nomination day—from a goose egg for This Is Us to a long-awaited nod for Seth Meyers. Goldberg was breathtaking in the climax of the dark HBO comedy’s run, alternating between rage and panic and a hint of slapstick as she faced up to the reality of her Hollywood dream.

Nathan Lane Is Ready to Make Even More History After the 2022 ... (Vanity Fair)

Seven nominations for the Primetime Emmy—you hope it doesn't turn into Susan Lucci,” Lane tells Vanity Fair of becoming the most-nominated comedy guest ...

“Well, I haven’t,” he says with a laugh. “Look, it’s always a pleasure to be there,” he says. “As the season goes on, there’s a big surprise that happens between my character and Marty’s,” Lane teases. Lane is nominated for his work in OMITB’s standout seventh episode, “The Boy from 6B,” which heavily features ASL. If Lane’s jubilation about his nomination is tempered, it’s by the omission of his costar in that episode. Given that the show was just recently renewed for a third season, it’s unclear if Lane returns, although he appears to be on board. “It was kind of a big surprise, because when I was asked to do the show,” he says, “I had imagined it was just going to be comedy—and to get to work with Marty [Short] and Steve [Martin] would be lovely.

Emmy nominations 2022: HBO and HBO Max lead with 140 (Los Angeles Times)

Netflix earned 105 of the nominations, which were announced Tuesday morning, thanks to acclaimed series including “Stranger Things,” “Ozark” and “Squid Game,” ...

Disney, for example, owns ABC, FX, Freeform, ESPN, Hulu and Disney+, and has a total of 147 nominations. Netflix is famous for its sheer amount of content, but executives have shown a desire to be choosier with their programming. HBO recently changed ownership again and is now part of the combined Warner Bros. Discovery, run by David Zaslav. HBO and HBO Max are, in fact, different networks, but they are treated as interchangeable in the Emmy counts. “When it was just HBO, obviously the world changed with streaming, so we added a streaming component, and now we’re playing on a more level playing field,” Bloys said. “Now we’ve got more at bats.

The 74th Primetime Emmy Awards will be held Sept. 12, with the location and host yet to be announced. Since 2015, shows were classified by their runtimes, with half-hour shows automatically being deemed comedies and hourlong programs going to the drama categories. The ceremony this year features a notable rule change, with shows being divided between the comedy and drama categories based on how producers submit them. The Emmys will recognize the best in American primetime programming airing between June 1, 2021 and May 31, 2022, which means recent buzzy series that debuted this June such as “The Boys,” “The Bear,” “Westworld,” “The Old Man” and “The Umbrella Academy” won’t be eligible. At 8:30 a.m. PT/ 11:30 a.m. ET, the Emmy Award nominations in the top categories will be announced in a virtual event featuring J.B. Smoove (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”), Melissa Fumero (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine”) and Television Academy chairman and CEO Frank Scherma. The nomination announcement will be livestreamed, and can be viewed on the official Emmy website or in the video player below.

Say what you will about the Emmys, but there's no other awards show where anyone from Zendaya to Stanley Tucci, Jennifer Coolidge to Barack Obama, ...

If you’re invested in the streaming wars, HBO and HBO Max scooped the most nominations this year, racking up 140 in total, while Netflix only received 105. - Barry, 14 Emmy nominations Meanwhile, Lizzo will go toe-to-toe with RuPaul for outstanding competition program after the release of Big Grrrls, Julie Andrews (Lady Whistledown in Bridgerton) is up against Stanley Tucci (Bitsy in Central Park) for outstanding character voice-over performance, and David Attenborough and Barack Obama are in the running for outstanding narrator following the premieres of The Mating Game and Our Great National Parks, respectively. Critics’ favorite Yellowstone got overlooked, too, as did newcomers Pachinko, Reservoir Dogs, and Maid. (While Margaret Qualley did get recognized in the outstanding lead actress in a limited or anthology series or movie category, mother Andie MacDowell got shut out of the outstanding supporting actress line-up.) And even though Only Murders in the Building scooped 17 nominations in total, Selena Gomez got passed over for the chance to win an acting statuette, and Stranger Things fans are convinced Sadie Sink got robbed of a best supporting actress spot. Melanie Lynskey for Yellowjackets; Andrew Garfield for Under the Banner of Heaven; Oscar Isaac for Scenes from a Marriage; Amanda Seyfried for The Dropout; Lily James for Pam & Tommy; Elle Fanning for The Great; Kaitlyn Dever for Dopesick; and Sydney Sweeney for both Euphoria and The White Lotus. There’s also HBO’s Succession, which broke the record for the drama series with the most acting nominations in a single year (14), while NBC’s Saturday Night Live held on to its record as the series with the most Emmy nominations (306 nods across six decades). Zendaya made history once again, too—after becoming the youngest winner of the outstanding actress in a drama series Emmy in 2020, she is now, at 25, the youngest two-time lead acting nominee and the youngest woman ever to be nominated for producing.
